Dr. Jennie Liao successfully defended her thesis, “Transition Metal Catalyzed Reactions of Pyridinium and Iminium Ions.” Congratulations, Jennie! We wish you all the best in your new position in Process Discovery Chemistry at Merck. We will miss you!

Research Overview

Our research focuses on the discovery of new methods for organic synthesis. We use transition metal catalysts to develop enantioselective and stereospecific reactions. Our goal is greater efficiency and novel bond constructions in the synthesis of chiral molecules.
